“Our first quarter results underscore the Coca-Cola Company's resilience and a long-term focus on quality growth in every region of the world,” CEO Muhtar Kent said in a statement. “Despite a continued mixed global environment,” the company generated “volume growth across every geographic operating group and revenue growth ahead of our long-term growth target.”

The iconic beverage company benefited from a 5% bump in global unit case volume, highlighted by a 20% leap in India and a 9% rise in China. Volumes were up 2% in North America, 4% in Brazil and 3% in Japan and Germany.

Coca-Cola brand volume rose 4% last quarter overall and by an even faster pace in emerging markets like Russia, where volumes soared 20%.

At the same time, Coca-Cola said its results were helped by 3% from higher prices and its mix of products.
